Hi everyone,

I have a straightforward question.  Could anyone point me the steps to stream a dll to the binary table?  I need to load the dll into memory, but obviously, USEDLL needs to know where to find the thing and I can't figure this out.  Or maybe it's not the binary table I'm looking for.  (Something must have replaced Installshield's OS Independent folder).

I'm using MSI 2.01 by the way.

Thanks!

To add a file to the binary table, in the power editor, select the binary table.  Enter a new name, then enter the file location in the data column.  This will get the file into the binary table when it is built next.

To get the file out of the binary table at installation time, you can use the StreamFileFromBinary function.  This is included in one of the sample scripts provided with InstallShield.

Thanks Leigh,

I will try that.  (wondering if building the table only will do the trick, oh well, will have to test).
